Towards an Acceptable Theory of Acceptance: Partial Structures Inconsistency and Correspondence

In the second appendix to his ‘Correspondence, Invariance and Heuristics’ (Post 1971), Heinz Post notes that Acceptance, rather than rejection, is the more remarkable exercise of scientific judgment. (p. 253).
